I have some insights for this TOSCA : I learned that the monitor is reading properly only when the kPa numbers are blue (not grey) and somewhat steady . It takes up to 10 minutes after putting on the skin to turn blue. If it comes off at any point it is best to be recalibrated before reattaching to the skin. If the numbers are going up and down rapidly it is best to recalibrate as well. It took me few years to figure this out in home sleep studies. These are all suggestions , to have an effective sleep study this is what I have to do.
